Somewhat rare, very difficult to find, and potentially worth several thousand $$$$ depending on the condition of the case, the sights, and the completeness of the set.  Winchester offered them with the Model 1885 Schuetzen Rifles.

A close friend of mine passed away this past summer.  I’ve  been asked to sort through his collection in February.  He had several cased sets for both Sharps and Winchester.  However, it has been several years since I last saw them and don’t  remember if these cases are complete with all pieces or not.  I’ll  know in a few weeks.

A Winchester Midrange set complete with a good box is about $5000
